Our creative energy is our divine inheritance. If people insist on squandering it and we cooperate, we will find ourselves creatively bankrupt, drained of goodwill and good feelings, short-tempered and short-fused. As artists, we must husband our energy as carefully as our money. We must spend it along lines that are personally and creatively rewarding. We must invest it wisely in people and projects that return our investment with measurable satisfaction, growth, and achievement.
